we love anna and ryan.  and we don’t throw that word out there lightly.  they are absolutely beautiful people and a total inspiration to us.  during our engagement session over the winter, anna was finishing her phd at marquette and ryan was working for habitat for humanity.  so much has happened to them since then, we could write a book about it.  instead of writing that book, we’re going to show you a few pictures about a day in june.  we love spending a full day with our couples and love it even more when they want to play before the wedding.  we gave anna and ryan a little alone time on the shores of lake michigan to see each other for the first time on their wedding day.  after that, we played on the lakeshore before heading to the villa terrace decorative art museum where we met up with their bridal party.  we spent time in the lower gardens for some fun group shots before heading up to the museum for their amazing ceremony.  as the ceremony was coming to a close, a major storm front moved across the skies.  the skies opened up and the rain came down just after they walked back from the terrace into the museum.  soon after, we moved across milwaukee to the charles allis art museum for their reception.  little did anyone know that anna’s wedding gown transformed into an adorable dress suitable for dancing late into the evening.  we really, really enjoyed becoming friends with anna and ryan and love hearing where life is taking them.  we do know that for now they are laying in each other’s arms on a beach in oregon, watching whales.  so here’s their wedding, a glimpse into a day in june… enjoy.
